Hartlepool at Night
I really do enjoy taking photographs at night. I started experimenting with it in September, 2008 and since then have taken a series of night images across town and further afield. Like many amateur photographers, I tend to use the Flickr website and post quite a few on there. To see larger images of the photographs below, which can also be seen on the Hartlepool at Night Flickr Group, click on the smaller pictures.
A view from the Town Wall. This house is the Gospel Hall.
Tall Ships The Tall Ships Races' came to Hartlepool for four days during August 2010 with almost a million visiots coming to town.
Take a seat This old part of Hartlepool is always a good place for night photography.
Redheugh Gardens and the War Memorial
The "Montiverdi" in Hartlepool Marina. I find the marina an ideal place for me, to try out different camera settings, when I'm out taking night photography.
The Town Hall in Raby Road, Hartlepool is a Grade II Listed building and dates to 1897. These days it is used for entertainment and known as the Town Hall Theatre and is still a wonderful old building.
St. Mary's Church in Durham Street Hartlepool. The gates at the front of the church are made to depict a biblical scene of St Bernadette kneeling before St. Mary. A local company Heerema donated the gates, and fence, a few years ago. The gates, at the side of the church, also have images built into them of boats relating to the fishing heritage of the area.
This image from Ian Malcolmson shows Barkers Mews on the Headland with the old Seamen's Mission on the left and the former Barclay's Bank on the right. Both private dwellings these days.
A panoramic view across Hartlepool Bay with the New Pier to the left and the lights of Industrial Teesside and Hartlepool Marina in the distance. Ian Malcolmson also provided this image which can be viewed large by clicking on it.

Hartlepool at Night
The Marine Hotel on The Front in Seaton Carew. This grand old building, which is grade II listed, dates to 1900.
This is the annexe of the Staincliffe Hotel on The Front in Seaton Carew. If my memory serves me well I do believe this was originally a chapel.
St. Hilda's Church is never the easiest building to take at night because of the various lighting - but I always keep going back to try different angles.
The Abbey Church of St. Hilda towers above the Town Wall and Sandwell Gate.
Another view of St. Hilda's Church taken from the Town Square.
The lighthouse at the end of the Pilot's Pier in Hartlepool. The sun was setting as I took this photograph with a 30 second exposure. The lights of the Seaton Carew and the Marina can be see in the background.
The Heugh Battery lighthouse.
The neon light at the Sandwell Gate always looks impressive at night. Taken from the Fish Sands and not the place to be when the tide is in, of course!
Across the Bay from the Town Wall.
Seating on the Town Wall.
The Sebastopol Cannon near the Heugh Battery. This cannon was captured from the Russian Army at the battle of Sebastopol during the Crimean War (1854-56). In October 1857, the then Secretary of State, Lord Panmure, offered the cannon to Hartlepool Borough Council who gratefully accepted it. The cannon was transported from London on the steam ship 'Margaret' at a total cost of £2.19s.3d., and, after a year's delay, arrived at Hartlepool in September, 1858.
The Town Wall in old Hartlepool with a view of the cranes at Irvine's Quay.
The Old West Quay, restaurant and bar, which is next to the Premier Inn in Hartlepool Marina.
All Saints' Church, Stranton dates back to at least the 12th century, and Christians have worshipped on this site for over 1200 years. Today, the church is the base for a thriving Christian community of all ages, in the evangelical tradition of the Church of England. The church website describes this as 'God's light on the hill in the heart of the town'.
